Canvas Of Life


What if droplets of water,
Froze in mid air as the,
Temperature fell face down,
On the thin and moist surface,
I would make a caricature,
Of it in thin air,
Like a wide canvas of possibilities,
Fill it with colors, blue and gray,
With time that would never fade,
Like a window full of memories,
And dreams and a butterfly,
Sitting on the surface in hope,
Of gliding above the trees and seize,
Every opportunity that comes its way,
Like the shadow of every being,
Holding that final thread,
Withstanding light and darkness,
In hope of staying at its birthplace,
If I drew a circle on the surface of sand,
And stood in there forever,
Would I be able to protect myself,
Or stagnate with time in there,
I would step outside the range,
In hope of dying worth trying,
As life seems not too bad,
If you ache to keep holding,
To your shadow, where lies,
Your actual birthplace,
If there was a calamity in life,
Broken and enraged,
I would remember my birthplace,
In hope of temperature falling,
And freezing all the possibilities,
In thin air I would wipe the dirt,
Of my life’s window,
In hope of drawing a new picture,
Fill the canvas of my life,
With colors of blue and gray again.
